If art imitates life, we're in trouble, the researchers conclude. The size of the main dish grew 69 percent; the size of the plate, 66 percent; and the bread, 23 percent, between the years 1000 and 2000.

Anoushka Shankar, musician, author, actress and composer, will bring the music of India to the Center Stage Series at Luther College Saturday, April 10. The performance is at 7:30 p.m. in the Center for Faith and Life on the Luther campus.

Legendary R&B group Kool & the Gang will take the stage at 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 28, at Riverside Casino & Golf Resort. The concert will be the resort’s final outdoor performance of the summer.

Panasonic says its 3-D TVs sold out in the United States in their first week, raising optimism the technology that helped "Avatar" break records at the box office will extend to living rooms and help boost profits.

PROMISES 100 TIMES FASTER INTERNET IN FIBER PLAN A number of Iowa cities and communities — Dubuque, Iowa City, Bellevue and Ames among them — are applying to be a test site for Google’s new broadband service capable of delivering bits and bytes at speeds 100 times what most Americans now receive from their cable and telephone companies. n experimenting with broadband access, called Fiber for Communities, Google would create networks in a select number of communities across the country to deliver Internet service directly to homes at 1 gigabit per second. Google plans to request proposals from municipalities to determine what areas would be part of the experiment. It said it would pay for the construction and operation of the networks and charge consumers rates that would be competitive with other service providers.

DSL and fiber access cap at about 20 to 50 megabits a second. Google said that with speeds reaching 1 gigabit a second, the company can experiment with applications that would allow a rural resident to exchange 3-D videos with a doctor in Los Angeles. Full-feature high-definition movies could be downloaded in five minutes.

"The speeds and access they are talking about really open the door to opportunities that are really cutting-edge, not only in terms of education but in terms of economic development," Randy Gehl, city of Dubuque public information officer, said in a Dubuque Telegraph-Herald story. "I think the strength of our application will be our Smart City partnership with IBM and our innovative approach to public-private partnerships, which is what this will be. But this process is very competitive."

"We hope this will serve as an example to other network operators that the open model should not be feared but should be emulated," said Markham Erickson, executive director of the Open Internet Coalition. "Profit and openness are mistakenly seen to be in conflict; in fact, we believe they are synergistic and amplifying."

As for Bellevue, the town’s strength as a contender lies in its fiber optic cable system that leads to every address in the city. The Google trials would involve relatively compact areas, the company said, with the networks reaching at least 50,000 and up to 500,000 people. Whether communities choose to participate is likely to depend on the details of the program. Craig Moffett, an analyst at Sanford Bernstein, said some municipalities may pass if the project requires a sizable ongoing funding commitment, especially at a time when public finances have been hurt by the economic downturn. But the move is strategic in other ways, analysts said. By showcasing an ultra-fast broadband network, the company highlights its push for better consumer applications and shows support for the Obama administration's proposal to bring broadband Internet access to all U.S. homes. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski lauded the announcement.

Google, a proponent of open-access policies, said its networks would give consumers a choice of multiple service providers. And Google said it would not favor its content over others.

Google has been experimenting with broadband service for years. It has been running a free Wi-Fi network in its headquarters city of Mountain View, Calif. It is also advocating for the FCC to use unlicensed wireless spectrum, called "white spaces," for broadband services. And the company has been quietly buying up unused fiber-optic lines for years, a move that some observers suspected would lead to just the sort of announcement Google made, one in a recent series of moves by the company that appear calculated to help the Internet juggernaut leapfrog the existing technology establishment to position itself for the future.

In each initiative, Google has said it is trying not to upend potential rivals but to encourage innovation in hopes of expanding use of the Internet.

"Big broadband creates big opportunities," he said in a statement. "This significant trial will provide an American testbed for the next generation of innovative, high-speed Internet apps, devices and services."

As computer users spend more time communicating on social networks such as Facebook, Google has unveiled Google Buzz, which aspires to knit together a variety of social networks into one grand collective.

Currently, some of the fastest connections through cable,

In January, Google unveiled its first smartphone in a bid to

challenge the way the wireless industry sells handsets. The move came as the company experiments with Google Voice, a service that allows people to choose a new phone number and relay calls to their other numbers. Google grabbed global headlines with its declaration that it might spurn China over Internet freedom concerns, and it has been a leading proponent in Washington for “net neutrality” rules that would prevent online access providers from discriminating against those who would create certain content for the Web. In each initiative, Google has said it is trying not to upend potential rivals but to encourage innovation in hopes of expanding use of the Internet. It held to that claim in describing its new broadband initiative. "We are not getting into the (Internet service provider) or broadband business," said Rick Whitt, telecom and media counsel at Google. "This is a business-model nudge and an innovation nudge."

Nevertheless, analysts said Google's foray into yet another line of business is not without risk. It is likely to raise suspicion from the telecommunications industry's reigning incumbents, much as Google's development of its phone frayed relations with Apple. And the varied initiatives threaten to compromise the company's focus on its successful core business — Internet search. Several analysts pointed to the examples of Microsoft and AOL, which suffered setbacks when they spread themselves thin. Others, though, said Google's diverse interests support a single, overarching mission: helping the company sell ads for search queries. "All these peripheral activities are intended to make people use the Internet more, and then Google stands to make more money," said Carl Howe, director of consumer research at Yankee Group. "It sounds so simple, but it is very clever." Google is already responsible for about 10 percent of all Internet traffic, Howe added. PULSE: ISSUE 039 |

BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS

HAS EVEN THE LAST SUPPER BEEN SUPERSIZED? Marilynn Marchione, Ap Medical Writer

The food in famous paintings of the meal has grown by biblical proportions over the last millennium, researchers report. Using a computer, they compared the size of the food to the size of the heads in 52 paintings of Jesus Christ and his disciples at their final meal before his death. If art imitates life, we're in trouble, the researchers conclude. The size of the main dish grew 69 percent; the size of the plate, 66 percent, and the bread; 23 percent, between the years 1000 and 2000. Supersizing is considered a modern phenomenon, but "what we see recently may be just a more noticeable part of a very long trend," said Brian Wansink, a food behavior scientist at Cornell University.

PULSE: ISSUE 039 |

The study was his idea. For biblical context, he sought help from his brother, Craig Wansink, professor of religious studies at Virginia Wesleyan College in Norfolk, Va., and an ordained Presbyterian minister.

The Bible says the Last Supper took place on a Passover evening but gives little detail on specific foods besides bread and wine. "There's nothing else mentioned. They don't say there's a fruit cup or carrot cake," though other foods such as fish, eel, lamb and even pork have appeared in paintings through the years, Brian Wansink said. For the study, he used paintings featured in the book "Last Supper," published in 2000 by Phaidon Press. They include perhaps the most famous portrayal of the meal by Leonardo da

The Last Supper

Vinci. Computer technology allowed them to scan, rotate and calculate images regardless of their orientation in the paintings.

Details are in the April issue of the International Journal of Obesity. The study is "not very meaningful science," said Martin Binks, a behavioral health psychologist and a consultant at Duke University Medical Center. "We have real life examples of the increase in portion size â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all you have to do is look at what's being sold at fast-food restaurants." A more contemporary test would be to analyze portion sizes in Super Bowl commercials, he suggested. "That would be a much more meaningful snapshot of how this society's relationship to food has changed," Binks said.

Anoushka Shankar to perform at Luther Grammy nominee brings traditional music of India to Iowa Luther College Saturday, April 10

DECORAH — Anoushka Shankar, musician, author, actress and composer, will bring the music of India to the Center Stage Series at Luther College Saturday, April 10. The performance is at 7:30 p.m. in the Center for Faith and Life on the Luther campus. Her performance, “Sudakshini, a Musical Journey from North to South India by the Anoushka Shankar Project,” will feature Shankar on sitar, the plucked stringed instrument widely used in the music of India since the Middle Ages. A touring group of four musicians will join Shankar for the performance: Tanmoy Bose, table; Ravichandra Kulur, flute and kanjira; Pirashanna Thevarajah, mridangam; and Nick Able, tanpura. Shankar has emerged as one of the leading figures in world music today. She is deeply rooted in Indian classical music, having studied exclusively with her father, the legendary Ravi Shankar, and is now one of the foremost performers in that tradition. Featured on the first cover of the Indian version of Rolling Stone magazine, she has flourished as a performer and composer, exploring the crossover between Indian music and a variety of genres including electronica, jazz, flamenco and Western classical music. Shankar has been playing and studying the sitar with her father since she was 9. At age 13 she made her performance debut in New Delhi, and her first solo recording, “Anoushka,” was released to critical acclaim in 1998. “Anourag” (2000), Anoushka’s second release, was followed by “Live at Carnegie Hall” (2001), which garnered her first Grammy nomination, making her the youngest-ever nominee in the world music category. Her fourth album, “Rise,” earned Shankar another Grammy nomination in the best contemporary world music category. In 2006 she became the first Indian to play at the Grammy Awards. MORE INFORMATION

Tickets are on sale at the Luther College Box Office, (563) 387-1357, open 9 to 10:30 a.m. and 11a.m.to 3 p.m. on weekdays with extended hours on Thursdays until 7 p.m. Tickets may also be purchased online at http://boxoffice.luther.edu.

The WaterlooCedar Falls Sympony Orchestra ends season with free concert, world premiere PULSE: ISSUE 039 |

CEDAR FALLS — The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony Orchestra will cap its 80th anniversary season with several special events in early April, including an educational partnership with area schools, a free community concert and a world premiere of a new full-scale symphonic work. Iowa-born composer Philip Wharton is known for creating some of the most approachable and moving music being written today. He has served as composer-in-residence at the WCFSO during this anniversary season, and the WCFSO has commissioned Wharton to compose a brand-new symphony. As part of this initiative, approximately 40 area high school music students have been invited to rehearse and perform side by side with the musicians of the WCFSO. Students from Cedar Falls, Northern University, Waterloo East and

West, and Waverly-Shell Rock high schools will participate. The collaboration with area students will culminate in a free community concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 9, at Waterloo West High’s Kersenbrock Auditorium. The program will include a sneak peek at Wharton’s new symphonic work as well as selections from Brahms’ “Second Symphony” and music by Glinka. The event is free as a special thank you from the WCFSO to the Cedar Valley for 80 years of support. Finishing off this week of special activities, the WCFSO will perform the world premiere of Wharton’s new symphony on Premiere in the Heartland. This concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 10, in the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center at the University of Northern Iowa. Wharton’s full-scale symphonic composition was inspired by the beauty and

character of Iowa’s landscape. Johannes Brahms’ “Second Symphony” completes this once-in-a-lifetime evening of music. WCFSO music director Jason Weinberger and Wharton will give a casual preconcert talk at 6:30 p.m. in Jebe Hall prior to the April 10 concert. After that performance, patrons can enjoy FINE, the symphony’s post-concert lobby celebration with desserts, drinks and live music. Tickets for the April 10 performance start at $19 for adults and $9 for students. Buck a Kid is valid for this concert. $5 student rush tickets also are available the day of the show. For tickets, call (319) 273-4TIX or (877) 549SHOW or visit www.wcfsymphony.org. Tickets are not required for the free April 9 performance.

10 Inspired work BERGMEIER EXHIBIT ON DISPLAY DECORAH — “Printing and Mixed-Media,” an exhibit of artwork by John Bergmeier, will be on display through May 23 in the Center of Faith and Life on the campus of Luther College. “Printing and Mixed-Media” contains original prints, monotypes and mixed media works on paper. “My artwork is generally a result of working intuitively with various symbolic images and materials,” said Bergmeier. “I wish to represent and portray a mix of biblical subject matter and religious themes, to create memorials that serve to remind us of the importance of living and the certainty of death.” The artist said his work is inspired by his life’s experiences. His newest monotypes, based on the biblical story of the raising of Jairus’ daughter, will be displayed for the first time. “I am interested in the decisions that individuals make in their lives, the intertwining of so-called coincidences and the selective road that we all have to travel,” Bergmeier said. “This ‘road’ is depicted by the symbolic icons left behind: images from old children's books, photographic images of family, various farm tools, etc., stimulating my imagination, memory and emotions.” Bergmeier, of Pontiac, Mich., has a bachelor’s degree from Hastings College and a master’s degree from Wichita State University. His artwork has been exhibited in numerous venues, including the Ann Arbor Art Center, Washington, D.C., and in foreign countries including Denmark and Mexico. His work has been included in numerous prestigious exhibits including The Print 2009; Second International Prints for Peace, Leopoldo Carpinteyro Gallery, Mexico; Naestved International Exhibit of Contemporary Mini Prints; Washington Printmakers National Small Works 2009; and others.

3-D MOVIES CAN CAUSE DIZZINESS, NAUSEA

SEEING TRIPLE By Evan S. Benn, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Thousands of people are packing movie theaters across the country to see the new “Alice in Wonderland” in 3-D, and dozens of them likely will leave with headaches. That’s not a criticism of the film, but a fact: Doctors say those with less-than-perfect eyesight can suffer nausea, blurred vision and dizziness from 3-D movies. “The 3-D technology taps into our depth perception,” said Dr. Lawrence Tychsen, ophthalmologist in chief at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. “To fully appreciate depth in a 3-D movie, you need equally clear vision in both eyes. Even a small misalignment could contribute to those

PULSE: ISSUE 039 | 12

symptoms of discomfort.” Tychsen said relatively minor conditions such as nearsightedness, farsightedness or a lazy eye — if not treated with glasses or contacts — could trigger headaches and other side effects from 3-D visuals. He estimated that up to 20 percent of the population — kids and adults — could be affected. “Many people are unaware that anything’s wrong until they experience a 3-D movie and have these symptoms,” Tychsen said. The problem comes from so-called vision fatigue, caused when 3-D

technology forces the eyes to make constant adjustments to focus on images that are simultaneously near and far away. Humans see in three dimensions, but the exaggerated imagery of 3-D movies can cause a strain in some, according to Jeffrey Anshel, a California optometrist who has researched vision fatigue in computer users. “Each person will experience it differently,” Anshel said, adding that vision fatigue tends to be more pronounced during longer 3-D movies. “I think that a two-hour movie is fine, but going into three or more hours could lead to eye strain.” Reports of vision fatigue popped up in recent months after the release

of the 3-D blockbuster “Avatar,” which has shattered box office records, raking in more than $2.5 billion worldwide and becoming the highest-grossing film of all time. Several theatergoers complained of motion sickness after watching James Cameron’s epic sci-fi adventure, filmed with breakthrough digital 3-D techniques. Despite causing discomfort in a small number of people, 3-D movies aren’t going away anytime soon. Besides “Avatar,” some of last year’s other top-grossing films — “Up,” “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” and “Monsters vs. Aliens” — were 3-D, and more than a dozen other 3-D movies are scheduled for release this year and next.

The popularity of these movies and the money they pull in — theaters can typically charge about $3 extra for tickets to 3-D shows — keep them in favor with theater owners and studio executives.

them back to the theaters,” Moseley said. “But I can understand the motion-sickness effect. I’ve had that experience myself at the IMAX. It can be quite a ride.”

Harman Moseley, who manages the Galleria, Moolah and Chase Park Plaza cinemas in the St. Louis area, said he didn’t hear any complaints from people who saw “Avatar” at the Galleria. He is hoping for the same with “Alice in Wonderland,” the first film shown in 3-D at the Moolah.

Whether your eyesight is 20/20 or less than perfect, watching a 3-D movie isn’t going to cause any vision damage, according to experts like Anshel and Tychsen.

“For the most part people are loving these movies— it’s what’s bringing

“Getting a headache at a movie isn’t harmful, but it is symptomatic of subnormal vision,” Tychsen said. “If it happens, that might be a good sign it’s time to visit an eye doctor.”

Massive Attack

British rock duo exports moody rock, angry shows By Robert Heller, Bloomberg News

MASSIVE ATTACK HAS SPENT TWO DECADES BUILDING ITS ROCK REPUTATION WITH TRACKS SUCH AS "UNFINISHED SYMPATHY" AND "TEARDROP."

he duo won critical raves at home in the United Kingdom while remaining one of music's best-kept secrets outside Europe. That may be about to change, with Massive Attack pushing across Australia and New Zealand this month and planning another assault in May in the United States and Canada to promote "Heligoland," its first album in seven years.

Justin Bieber Tween heartthrob trades soul for gooey pop

IF WE TRULY WANT THE BEST FOR AMERICA'S CHILDREN, LET US PAUSE AND GIVE THANKS FOR JUSTIN BIEBER. By Chris Richards, The Washington Post

fter years of humdrum bubblegum from Miley Cyrus and the brothers Jonas, 16-yearold Justin Bieber has thrown a candy-coated wrench into Disney's heartthrob assembly line by giving young fans something worth screaming their lungs out for: lovable pop songs. Bieber's poise is reminiscent of Justin Timberlake before he went solo or Hanson before they all hit puberty. At its best, his voice is both powerful and adorable — like tweenage pathos transposed into sound. Fans first heard it when the Canadian wunderkind began posting home videos on YouTube a few years back, his elfin features practically buried beneath a shag of sandy-blond hair. (Since then, Bieber appears to have hit a recent growth spurt but still sports the voluminous coif.) His singing eventually earned him a shrieking fan base, a major label record contract and continued Internet omnipresPULSE:ISSUE ISSUE039 039||14 14 PULSE:

ence. His physical presence has sparked near-riots in U.S. shopping malls. And behind all this hullabaloo, there's actually some great music. Last November, Bieber released a marvelous debut EP called "My World" — seven clever, R&B-tinted tunes that were met with adulation across numerous platforms. Now comes Bieber's full-length debut, "My World 2.0," in what feels like a calculated move toward American pop music's gooey center. And that's a shame. The songwriting is noticeably duller, with fizzy Euro-pop synthesizers neutralizing the mild, hip-hoppish quirks that made Bieber's debut EP such a joy. Now surrounded by mushy electronic timbres, even the kid's sweetest hooks start to curdle. But not on "Runaway Love." The song's stop-and-go keyboards blurt away at a breezy tempo, giving the singer space to play. Lyrically, this album is full of sorehearted laments, but here it's all puppylove sweet talk: "I'm just trying to be

cool, cool, cool ... I'm just trying to find, find, find ... this sweet love of mine." Otherwise, Bieber struggles to shine through the electronic goop. And to make matters worse, three of the 10 songs on "2.0" feature cameos that range from unnecessary to irritating. Newcomer Jessica Jarrell duets with Bieber on the treacly "Overboard," but considering the androgynous qualities of Bieber's young voice, a female counterpoint feels redundant. Meantime, Sean Kingston hogs the mike on the otherwise catchy "Eenie Meenie," while Ludacris throws his booming pipes behind some insipid rhymes on "Baby" as if on a quest to find his true personal nadir. Why all the guests? Bieber has said that he aspires to mimic the trajectory of Michael Jackson (make music that kids and adults can love, grow up to become an era-defining superstar, etc.), but the young Jackson had to share the spotlight with his older brothers. What's Bieber's excuse?

Massive Attack is known for "trip hop" — think rap slowed to a beat that could induce a trance. It has a deep appreciation of dub and bass. One of its most famous songs, "Angel," has damaged hi-fi speakers with its rumbling earthquake intro in the lowest possible register. The new CD's opener, "Pray for Rain", has booming piano, rattling bones, thundering drums and singing by Tunde Adebimpe, frontman of TV on the Radio. The impressive production cries out to be played on a good audio system. It's a tall order for live performances to live up to this sophistication, as Massive Attack's latest U.K. show proved. The concert should have been definitive, with many of the album's guests appearing onstage, including reggae veteran Horace Andy and Damon Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz. Martina Topley Bird excelled with her rendition of "Teardrop," replacing Elizabeth Fraser's original ethereal vocals with a brittle frailty. "Splitting the Atom" featured all three singers and was a powerful, wounded beast of a song. Its lyrics about bank bailouts were seared onto retinas by an extraordinary light show. The dot matrix had an ever-hectoring display of facts, figures and radical quotes. As a comeback, "Heligoland" beats "Third," released in 2008 by Portishead, another long-term band from the western England city of Bristol. Massive Attack has made a moody and broody record, with highlights in the powerful "Paradise Circus" and "Flat of the Blade," which has heartfelt vocals by Elbow's Guy Garvey. Massive Attack's soft minimalism made its 1991 debut recording "Blue Lines" the ideal background for dinner parties. The London show at the HMV Apollo Hammersmith opted for a thicker sound. The sixpiece band added scathing guitars and synthesizer drones to build a dense throb that bludgeoned and bewildered some listeners. The result was more akin to experimental heavy metal than a suitable accompaniment to a souffle. The subterranean rumble reached heights on "Karmacoma," the night's closing song. Anyone catching the shows can expect to be introduced to a superb record.

CONCERT AND CD REVIEW

Christian Scott "Yesterday You Said Tomorrow" By Mike Joyce, The Washington Post

New Orleans trumpeter Christian Scott turns 27 this month, but his upcoming release shows what an old soul he is

ecorded at engineer Rudy Van Gelder's New Jersey studio, an incubator for countless classic jazz recordings, "Yesterday You Said Tomorrow" finds Scott channeling key influences from start to finish. As he says in the album's liner notes, this collection of mostly self-penned pieces "was designed in subject matter and sound to have the brevity and character of the recordings of the '60s," inspired by the likes of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan.

No small task, of course, but Scott has sufficient passion, soul, wit and technique to pull it off without sounding retro or reverential. The themes inspired by sociopolitical issues, beginning with his opening broadside, "K.K.P.D.," crackle with fusion-era electricity. "Isadora," a muted, brush-stroked ballad, eloquently underscores Scott's affection for

Davis' spacious lyricism. A cover of rocker Thom Yorke's "The Eraser" employs a pulsating modal arrangement to hypnotic effect, and Scott's "An Unending Repentance" is enhanced by guitarist Matthew Stevens' fluid lines and blues sensibility. Scott has also surrounded himself with gifted musicians, including pianist Milton Fletcher Jr., who help the trumpeter achieve his goals with plenty of finesse and invention. Courtesy photo

DUBUQUE MUSEUM DISPLAYS AREA ARTIST’S WORK DUBUQUE — Nine paintings by Dubuque artist Louise Herron Halliburton are on view in the Dubuque Museum of Art’s Lengeling Gallery through July 11. Halliburton was born in Dubuque in 1898 and studied at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. She was married to Robert Alexander Halliburton, an economics professor at Franklin College in Indiana, until he died unexpectedly in 1939. In 1940, Halliburton returned to Dubuque, living there until her death in 1991. Halliburton often is remembered for her political and social activism, though her artistic legacy also still resonates today. She was on the board of the Dubuque Art Association, the predecessor of the Dubuque Museum of Art. She enriched the city’s cultural scene, organizing many exhibitions and artist lectures during her tenure with the art association. As an artist, Halliburton was best known for her works in watercolor, learning from the famous watercolorist Eliot O’Hara. The museum’s hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Admission to the museum, at 701 Locust St., is free. For more information, call (563) 557-1851 or visit www.dbqart.com.

IT WASN’T ME Fredrick Federley, a member of the Swedish Parliament, said he has always campaigned as someone who does not take gifts from those he is responsible for regulating, but he was called out by the newspaper Aftonbladet in February for having accepted a free travel holiday from an airline. Federley denied that “he” accepted the trip. He reminded reporters that he is a notorious, flamboyant cross-dresser, and thus that it was his alter-ego “Ursula” who received the free holiday.

The $20 admission includes the bus ride, T-shirt, drink specials, appetizers, free cover charge and promotional giveaways. Stops on the crawl will include AMVETS #19, Blue River, Butt Ugly’s Saloon, Club Fever, Edo’s Club International, Embassy Lounge, LaChiquita Mexican Restaurant & Bar and Times Sports Bar. Special rates for the crawl are available at the Ramada Inn and the Quality Inn & Suites, and all designated drivers get free pop. Taxis also are available for transportation after the crawl. For more information, call the Main Street office at (319) 291-2038.

In Clash of the Titans, the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny. DIRECTED BY Louis Leterrier NOW SHOWING IN WIDE RELEASE

Release date: April 09

Based on best-selling novelist Nicholas Sparks' ("A Walk to Remember," "The Notebook") forthcoming novel, "The Last Song" is set in a small Southern beach town where an estranged father (Greg Kinnear) gets a chance to spend the summer with his reluctant teenage daughter (Miley Cyrus), who'd rather be home in New York. He tries to reconnect with her through the only thing they have in common — music.

Gathered together in the Bahamas for their annual one-week reunion, four close couples eagerly reconnect, sharing news about their lives and relationships. But their intimate week in paradise is disrupted by the unexpected arrival of Sheila's ex-husband, Mike, who hopes to break up her new marriage with Troy and win her back. The others soon realize they too are not immune to the challenges of commitment and fidelity.

Stealing a no-show couple’s reservations at the hottest restuarant — what could it hurt? Phil and Claire are now the Tripplehorns. The real Tripplehorns, it turns out, are a thieving couple who are being hunted down by a pair of corrupt cops for having stolen property from some very dangerous people. A wild and dangerous series of crazy adventures to save their lives — and their marriage - follows.

Tyler Doherty is an extraordinary 8 year-old boy. Surrounded by a loving family and community and armed with the courage of his faith, he faces his daily battle against cancer with bravery and grace. To Tyler, God is a friend, a teacher and the ultimate pen pal. Tyler's prayers take the form of letters, which he composes and mails on a daily basis. The letters find their way into the hands of Brady McDaniels, a beleaguered postman standing at a crossroads in his life.

3-D TV TVs sell out as ‘Avatar’ technology reaches homes

TV NEWS TECHNOLOGY

Bloomberg News

PANASONIC 3-D TV SELLS OUT

he shortage is prompting the world's largest plasma TV maker to take back-orders from retailers, Hitoshi Otsuki, the senior managing director heading Osaka-based Panasonic's overseas operations, said in Tokyo. He declined to specify figures. "It's a great opportunity to turn around our TV business," he said. TV makers are betting movies such as James Cameron's "Avatar," the highest-grossing film of all time, and sports events such as the 2010 FIFA World Cup will help drive demand for 3-D sets using improved technology. Still, a lack of programs and the need to use special eyewear, a reason that thwarted previous attempts to push adoption, may deter consumers. "There are always people who want to buy high-end products," said Kazuharu Miura, an analyst at Daiwa Securities Capital Markets in Tokyo, said. "That's probably what's driving sales." Panasonic became the first major TV maker to sell 3-D sets in the U.S. when its 50-inch full high-definition plasma TV went on sale at outlets of Best Buy with a pair of glasses and a 3-D PULSE: ISSUE 039 | 26

Blu-ray player for $2,899.99 on March 10. Samsung Electronics, the world's largest TV maker, began offering a 55-inch 3-D model there for $3,299.99 on March 14, while Sony plans to start selling 3-D Bravia TVs in June. Samsung hasn't yet tracked its 3-D TV shipment figures, said Hwang Eun Ju, a spokeswoman for the South Korea-based electronics maker. Panasonic's TV operations had a loss of more than $111 million in the quarter ending Dec. 31. The business may turn profitable in the year ending March 2011, President Fumio Ohtsubo said March 3. TV makers are counting on 3-D broadcasts of major sporting events to stoke demand. FIFA said in December it agreed with Sony to deliver 3-D images from as many as 25 matches of this year's soccer World Cup in South Africa. ESPN 3-D will start in June and broadcast 85 live events the first year, the Bristol, Conn.-based sports network said in January. Discovery Communications Inc., Sony and Imax Corp. announced a venture at the time to introduce a 3-D channel in 2011.

Global shipments of 3-D TVs may reach 4.2 million this year and more than triple to 12.9 million in 2011, according to El Segundo, California-based researcher ISuppli Corp. this month. Revenue from the sets may more than double to $20 billion next year, according to ISuppli. Samsung has said it aims to sell more than 2 million 3-D TVs this year, while Panasonic expects to sell as many as 1 million globally in the year starting April 1. LG Electronics has said it's targeting sales of 400,000 3-D TV sets in 2010. "Finally we have real televisions," Bob Perry, a U.S. based senior vice president at Panasonic's audio-visual products marketing unit, said in a March 10 Bloomberg Television interview. "3-D makes TV real." Sony, which said last week it plans to sell at least 25 million TVs in the year starting April, predicts sales of 3-D sets will probably account for about 10 percent of the total. "It will probably take a long time for 3-D TVs to expand broadly, maybe about three years" said Ichiro Michikoshi, an analyst at electronics research firm BCN Inc. in Tokyo. "There isn't enough content, and consumers dislike wearing the glasses. Those issues will take time to be solved."
